Windows
A signed virtual display driver is installed the first time you add a virtual monitor, and removed again when the session ends. Without it, a headless PC is still reachable.
macOS
A Mac with nothing plugged in gets a virtual display for the session automatically; add more from the viewer.
Linux
Add a virtual monitor to a signed-in GNOME desktop (Ubuntu’s default Wayland session) or to an Xorg desktop that lets the screen grow: it appears as a real extra screen you can move windows to. When nobody is signed in, the agent starts a private desktop so you always have something to work on.
Add a virtual monitor
- Connect to the computer.
- Open the monitor menu in the viewer.
- Choose Add virtual monitor and pick a resolution.
